Step Five: Size Femur and
Establish External Rotation
(cont.)
Read the femoral size directly from the guide between
the engraved lines on the sizing tower (Figure 5c).
There are eight sizes labeled “A” through “H”. With the
breadth of sizes available, if the indicator is between
two sizes, the size closest to the indicator is typically
chosen.
If a posterior referencing technique is preferred,
remove the mini A/P sizing guide and go to page 32,
“Step Six Finish the Femur - Posterior Referencing”. If a
blended technique is preferred, proceed to set external
rotation and make final determination of posterior
resection using the posterior referencing option.
There are four external rotation plates: 0°/3° Left, 0°/3°
Right, 5°/7° Left, and 5°/7° Right. Choose the external
rotation plate that provides the desired external
rotation for the appropriate knee. The 0° option can
be used when positioning will be determined by the
A/P axis or the epicondylar axis. Use the 3° option for
varus knees. Use the 5° option for knees with a valgus
deformity from 10° to 13°.
Attach the selected plate to the mini A/P sizing guide
(Figure 5d).
Use a 3.2 mm drill to drill through the two holes that
correspond to the desired external rotation. Position
two headless holding pins, and impact them into the
guide (Figure 5e). Leave the head of the pin proud. If
preferred, the MIS headless screws may be used.
Note:
Do not impact the headless holding pins
flush with the external rotation plate.
Careful attention should be taken when placing the
headless pins into the appropriate external rotation
plate as these pins also set the A/P placement for the
MIS femoral finishing guide in the next step of the
procedure. It is important to monitor the location of
the anterior boom on the anterior cortex of the femur
to ensure the anterior cut will not notch the femur.
Positioning the anterior boom on the “high” part of
the femur by lateralizing the location of the boom can
often lessen the likelihood of notching the femur.
Unlock and rotate the boom of the guide medially
until it clears the medial condyle. Then remove the
guide, but leave the two headless holding pins. These
pins will establish the A/P position and rotational
alignment of the femoral finishing guide.
